I don't usually do movies and stuff, but this was a terribly cute movie. Lots of humor for the grown ups without being "adult". The theme was easy to follow for the kid. He sat through the majority of it too. Always a good sign the movie was fun. Although bouncing off the walls like spiderman is usually a winner too.

You have Louis, the main character as a boy, and Wilbur, his friend that comes back in time to correct a mistake that happens in the future. And it's quite a mistake, because everytime Louis tries to fix something, he breaks it more. Boy, can I relate to that! But he's really a genius in the making.

There's the hat, Doris, which is fascinating until the end when you realize she's not all she appears. That's about as deep a spoiler as I'm going to give on that one.

Then there's Goob, Louis' roommate who is adorable. It's a story about kids for kids and it's really easy for them to follow.

If you want an afternoon fun flick to watch with the kids that won't bore you because it is a Kid Flick, then I do recommend the Robinsons.

There's a valid complaint against Deborah MacGillivray regarding reviews posted by Reba Belle being pulled. In previous posts at Dear Author.com regarding Reba Belle and other reviewers, it's stated that this author (I hate being in the same category as this person) has stated clearly she has intentionally garnered Reba's personal information, as much as her address, her phone number, her grandmother's last name etc., etc, with the intent to stop her.

She succeded. Deborah Ann permanently had Reba blacklisted for giving out a fair, concise, well written 3 star review.

Reba Belle has been bullied and threatened, stalked and verbally abused. Why? Because she dared to give that 3 star review.

The petition is still live and will be sent to Amazon through Dear Author. If you are against cyberstalking, review manipulation and for Free Speech, then read and sign.
